HAVEN – 12040

Haven

Hello, my name is Haven. My animal id is #12040. I am a male brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 07-Nov-2017.

Haven is at risk for medical concerns. Haven was yesterday diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, Haven has been assessed as suitable for an experienced dog home.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A volunteer writes: Haven lets you know that he does not belong to a kennel. He enjoys being with people. He loves to play ball or run in the park. He is quite a handsome and athletic young dog and very pleasant to spend time with. He is a great walker(I was so wrong thinking that he could be a major puller), not a bird or squirrel chaser and although interested, he is respectful of other pooches met on the way. He seems to be house trained, of course. Haven is a little anxious(he has gotten better) and spending his energy at fetching and retrieving balls in the yard is right up his alley. I like that he brings back the ball right at my feet, lets me pick it up and waits for the throw. He can jump very high and even twirl in the air. Haven samples treats politely , sits on command and even gives paw. He might be a big and strong guy but he does know that he can find comfort and love in his caretaker, accepting caresses and hugs. Haven is a very good looking dog, energetic, friendly and playful , working in sync with his caretaker. Beside some fine tuning to make him yours, adopting Haven will get you a great companion and forever best friend. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

Details on my behavior are…

Haven was very loose bodied he allowed us to collar and take his picture. He walked up to me as I approached him and took treats from my hand. He became very stiff when I was trying to put him in the kennel.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Haven so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Haven has displayed some anxious behavior in the shelter environment. However, he remains social with handlers and will engage with his care takers, taking treats and soliciting attention.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Potential challenges: : Anxiety

Potential challenges comments:: Anxiety: Haven appears anxious in the care center, whining and barking throughout his assessment and in playgroup. We have no history on him in a home, so we do not know if this behavior will be present outside of the care center. If it does occur, we recommend giving her puzzle toys, long walks, and things to do to relieve her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, reward based training only should be used.
